Fake discount offer in shopping Malls

Beware of fake discount offer in shopping Malls!

All messages hung in supermarkets has to be thorugly scrutinized before paying for the product. The summer travel has seen flurisig shopers at shoping malls. The shoping malls hang up posters offering discounts & % off etc. Once a customer picks up a product & reaces the cashier, the casher will bill the original price & if questioned, the cashier will respond like
- Is it so? No sir, this one is excluded from the offer
- Oh, you just picked the product just near the discount label but, this is out side
- Not entered in the system and many more excuse.
Experinced the same in city center, Ansar mall resently. My customers do not recheck the cost while paying at the cash counter & the malls make huge profit by coning the ignorant customers.
Beware while you shop next time!

I wanted a LCD..Went to LULU and LANDMARk and they were offering it for the same price..Then saw the LG clearance sale ad in the GT and rushed there. It was being sold there at 500 riyal less ( the salesman told me) but by then they were out of stock.. As I was getting out of the store I saw one unit of the same model on Display. I got quite happy that I can get it cheap. But when I asked about the price, they quoted the same price as in other malls.Upon enquiry I got this answer.

"Ok we sold these units for 1200 (sale price, original price 1650) but this unit doesnt come under sale"

Same company..Same Model...each and every single detail is the same. But the same item didnt come under sale..
